XPLAINED
When looking for errors, ResiCAT compares codes in the same line and against all codes in the
opposing column. Codes must be an
exact
match, otherwise they will be treated as separate
codes and highlighted as described in the section above.
When a code highlighted in yellow (hospital code with no match in auditor’s column) appears in
the same line as a code highlighted in blue (audit code with no match in hospital’s codes) two
Error Log boxes will be displayed. Whenever double logs are displayed, the auditor must
determine whether one or two errors are involved.
Following is a series of screen shots which demonstrate possible combinations and the
significance of single and double Error Log boxes.
i)
Same codes, principal diagnosis the same but additional diagnoses in different sequence
= No errors.
No Error Log boxes.
ii)
Same codes, principal diagnosis different = One error (incorrect principal diagnosis).
Auditor’s principal diagnosis highlighted in red, corresponding code in Hospital column
also highlighted in red.
One Error Log box, displayed alongside Auditor’s principal diagnosis.
